Mom Song

Hey baby girl it’s been a while since we talked

I’ve just been thinking while your father’s walking the dogs

There's so much I could say to you

So much that I won’t

But if I go tomorrow then I just need you to know

That I’m sorry

I was kicking the dirt

You didn’t deserve how I hardly

Loved you like you needed

It was partly

That I didn’t know how

Didn't know how to make you want me

More than anyone else

And I see how we are different

See how we’re the same

I wanna know you anyway

Hey mom, I’m glad that you called

Rather hear your voice than a trip to the mall

I didn't need new things just to know that you cared

I needed a different way of being there

I was too young just to tell you

You were angry I don’t blame you

‘Cause the truth is you were learning

You were also just a person

And I’m trying and I’m hoping

That you’ll hear me and be open

I could climb into your big bed

We could try this again
